Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, Miss. Ann Rutledge, New Salem, Pioneering and the Poem: A Lecture Delivered in the Old Sangamon Country Court House, November, 1866 Among the many who have written the Abraham Lincoln, none surpass in interesting statement and forceful expression, his long time law partner, Wm. H. Herndon. This remarkable address of Mr. Herndon´s has never before been published, and is practically unknown to collectors of Lincolniania. It was delivered as a lecture, on an evening in November, 1866, to a very small audience gathered in the old Sangamon Country Court House, on the east side of the public square, in Springfield, Ill. It was afterwards printed at length, as here given, as a broadside, but owing to his unfortunate choice of form, it quickly disappeared and at present but three copies are known to exist - one in the Illinois State Historical Library, where it was placed by the late Dr. A. W. French, another in the library of Dr. William Jayne, who purchased it from the late Joseph Wallace, and a third which the publisher, such is his faith, hopes soon to add to his private collection. Newspaper comment, made at the time of its delivery, was invariably unfavorable, and this reception of his carefully prepared lecture, doubtless determined Mr. Herndon in not repeating it.
